The Board of Equalization were busy for two or three days, listening to par ties who thought their assessments were high enough and should not be raised. Scarcely any of them, however, would state unde: oath that they had returned all their property to the Assessor. We understand that great many of them are abusing the Board on account of the raise. This is wrong. The Board were only performing their duty to their con stituents, and instead of being censured, deserve the thanks of every taxpayer of the county. Tine only thing to be re- gretted is, that it was impossible for them to do the work more thoroughly for the want of time We are satisfied that fully one-half of the taxpayers of the county could have been raised from $l0o up and not have been taxed un- justly,

RODEO NOTICE.

The Executive Committee of the Apache County Stock Association at its meeting held at Holbrook, On July 31st, arranged the rodeo as follows: The work will begin at the Meadows on September 5th, and work substan- tially as it was last year, viz: From Meadows over Wabash range to twenty four ranch; thence to Esquidilla noun tains, Mangus Springs, Cow Springs and Coyote, and continue on to the co range and thence down the Show Low.
 At the Meadows the work will be in charge of Mir. Henry Smith. On the Wabash range, Mr. Young Jenkins will be Captain. From the Twenty-four ranch to the range of Tuning x Cooley, Mir. Bob Thomas will be Captain. From thence and down the Show Low, Mir. Juan Sepulveda, Captain.
 Going west from the Meadows along the Colorado river to Woodruff, Mir. Nat Greer will be Captain. From Woodruff on down the river, Mir. Ed. Rogers will take charge. At Holbrook Mr. Rodgers will divide his party, sending an outfit up the Puerco to, and beyond if neces- sary, Bennett's ranch; thence swing round by Tanner Springs, working the Lereux wash, over the X ranges, then down the Cottonwood to it's mouth, join ing the other party at Clear Creek The remainder of MT. Rogers outfit will wolk down the river to Clear Creek where, after joining party No. the en- tire outfit will work back between the creeks to the Verde road, then east through the mountains, via Milford, Phoenix Park and the Indian Tanks to Show Low.
 The Committee proposes to make this rodeo as thorough and careful as possi- ble, and to that end the attention of the various Captains is called to these sug- gestions:
 Work slowly and satisfy yourself and the men whose range you are on that you have seen all the stock on it. There is no heed of rushing the work at all.
 Consult with the men who control the range over which you work, and work according to their desires and conve- nience as much as possible.
 Brand every calf you can, no matter to whoI>it belongs This Association proposes to put a stop to mavericking" ii it can be done, and the Committee believes that by branding every cali found, it will greatly decrease inc num- Der of mavericks, and thus lessen the temptation 10 steal.
 Keep careful record of such brands, and in case you find no owner to report them to, send the brand and tally in to the Secretary of the Association, and they will be advertised in the HERALD.
 And finally set sqnarely down on horse racing and gambling.

A private letter from Globe written by J. II. Benbrook, Deputy Sheriff, to C.. P. Owens, Sheriff of this county, gives the folio wing account of the killing of one of the gang of lustlers located on Canyon Creek named Bagsley. Mir. Benbrook says: ''I had ocrasion to in- terview MT. BaSsley on the lst of An gust. having a warrant for his arrest from Maricopa county, on q charge of grand larceny. Instead of throwing up when 1 ordered him, he pulled and turned loose, the ball grazing my left thumb, but breaking no homes. I re- turned the fire and he died" This man Bagsley has done little business in the horse stealing line in this county. Two years ago he was arrested by our pres ent Sheriff, for mistaking brand on a horse, and brought to St. Johns, but at that time it was next to impossible to convict man charged with any crime, and he was released
